Love Leia's saber!
I didn't scale down the staff pieces when I made mine. Surprisingly doesn't feel unwieldy. 11 6/8" long with the top closed.
Goes in the holes in the side of the belt.

One of the "Darth Maul" style radiator fins was lifted away from the body of the saber and serves as a grip clip.

There's an image floating about in the depths of reddit of the prop, not a shot from the movie, that shows this. From a distance it almost looks like an MPP clamp lever. But it functions like the TROS Graflex belt clip.

I can't share any pictures, but I can confirm this. It's a pretty nasty, pointy clip! Attached to the lower 'Pratt Burnerd collet'.
Can sort of see it here.
Nice catch Chris!

But it was made of camripI don't, sorry-- but the pic Teecrooz posted above shows it
Not a fan of this particular hilt, but man. This functioning design is SWEET!!Very slowly dialing this in. On my second rotate->pusher mech and am considering redesigning again. Not sure what others have done but I'm thinking geared "petals" with rotating threads might be my best bet now. The mech I currently have feels fragile and is difficult to move.

Also IBuildRobots thanks for sharing measurements! I just measured mine and I've got 328mm so it sounds like we're both in the same ballpark! Mine was sized to my hand and eyeballed.
